This TEDx talk uses the metaphor of a bartender “swizzling” drinks to explore the power of positive disruption. The speaker contrasts two types of people: swizzlers, who shake up the status quo with purpose to create progress, and pot stirrers, who provoke conflict for selfish or chaotic reasons. Through personal stories, like integrating a high school stage crew and revitalizing a Baltimore neighborhood, the speaker illustrates how swizzlers challenge unjust systems and spark change despite resistance. Drawing on figures like Sojourner Truth, Greta Thunberg, Gandhi, and Bob Dylan, the talk honors those who disrupt comfort zones to improve society. The speaker urges the audience to support real changemakers and, if they themselves are swizzlers, to persist. In short: the world needs more thoughtful disruption, and swizzlers, to keep moving forward.
